If you are interested in enrolling in a specific coach education and certification course, you should follow information on upcoming courses available on the ASCENT website, check the dates and deadlines related to the application process, review the admission requirements for the specific course, and, of course, consider the financial conditions such as prices and payment models.
All information and announcements on upcoming courses and events can be found on the ASCENT ACADEMY website (https://ascent-academy.eu/) under the section EVENTS & TRAINING CAMPS. When a course, camp or event is organised by ASCENT for another organisation, federation or company the programme or event is also co-advertised on their websites and through newsletters. In posts published on the ASCENT website, these links are usually provided as well.
Admission requirements may vary between coach education courses and between coaching levels within the same sport. Please check the admission requirements for each specific coaching course before applying.
The coach education courses usually last 4 to 6 months, from the time students receive login passwords for the online content until the practical part of the course is completed. However, the duration and organisation of coach education courses may vary between different sports and coaching levels.
The coach education and certification courses consist of two parts. The first part is a general online section covering generic sport science content through various modules. This part aims to provide coaches with basic theoretical and practical knowledge in applied sports science and related scientific disciplines that are considered crucial for coaches. The second part is a sport-specific practical component, which aims to provide coaches with the practical knowledge and skills needed to perform advanced coaching functions in different coaching occupations and domains within a particular sport.
The prices for various coach education and certification programmes differ between sports and coaching levels, mainly due to the differing costs of the programmes’ practical components. However, the average course fee is approximately €1,500.00 per course and includes:
A number of scholarships are awarded in almost all organised coaching courses to the best candidates who meet the criteria described in the respective course announcement, as set by the various organisers, sponsors, or supporters of a given coach education course. Applicants are also encouraged to seek financial support from their national associations, National Olympic Committees, the Ministry of Sport, sports clubs, municipal sports departments, and similar bodies.
Sports Diagnostics and Talent ID packages offer services to identify and develop emerging sporting talent and enhance the athletic performance of established elite athletes of all ages. Although the content of the packages varies slightly depending on the specific aims of each package (Basic/Performance/Functionality), all include a comprehensive athlete profile, biological age assessment, body composition analysis, muscle function analysis, posture and movement assessment, and more.
The prices of the packages vary as they depend on the number of athletes in the tested group. The prices listed on the ASCENT website are per individual athlete and their coaches who want information about the current condition and potential of the athletes they coach. For larger groups (clubs, national sport federations, training camps, etc.), the price is negotiable and depends on the number of athletes.
A course fee may be paid either in one lump sum or in two instalments. If paying in two instalments, the first instalment must be paid to gain online access to the generic part of a specific coaching course, which covers various general areas of applied sport science. The second instalment must be paid before the start of the practical part of the course, which requires physical attendance at a chosen location.A proforma invoice will be issued by ASCENT before any transaction, and the invoice will be delivered upon receipt of payment.
The duration and prices of injury prevention and rehabilitation programmes depend on the type of injury/surgery and the requirements of the subsequent rehabilitation process. Rehabilitation programmes are progressive and offer a combination of physiotherapy and kinesitherapy methods to ensure the best possible healing. The process usually takes from 30 to more than 90 days, depending on the type of injury/surgery and other factors. Prices vary according to the type of injury/surgery and the duration of the rehabilitation process, but on average are around €1 per day/rehabilitation session.
